Curiosity my dear Watson. Don't forget I can talk on IRC, I love Irssi, and I
use AIM with a text client. I do load X sometimes, but I'm trying to train
myself to be an admin, and I'm sure you know that admins rarely have a GUI
for everything.

I have a machine with an AMD XP 2600 + with Slackware, Free BSD, and Windows
XP on it for homework, this box which is SUSE 9.1 Professional, with a 128 MB
Nvidia GE Force FX card which is the one I'm typing frmo now, and yes I run
this in text mode, lol.

Right now I've loaded up X too look over a few things and check on homework,
and then next too this I have an HP Pavilion, the first computer I ever
owned, which has X loaded on Slackware 10, and XMMS playing my play list.

All Nvidia cards because well, I like them. The machine with the 128 MB card
also has half a gig of RAM, and an Intel 2.40 GHz Processor, and a few months
ago I actually got PC-DOS too run on it. Which seems stupid, I know, But I
wanted too see if it would actually work on this hardware. It did. Of course
it only found 2 GBs of disk.

Then my Laptop is a Pentium 4 3.06 GHz M, 512 RAM, Nvidia GE Force FX GO!
card *Heh shocking huh?) and all of these have DVD Drives, and CD-RWs except
the Laptop which only has DVD, because well, it doesn't need a CD-R, it has a
NIC.

I do what I do because it seems like a fun project, like when I made a little
MP3 LAN. It's something every hobbyist has done because they enjoy it and I
do too.

Now I've watched you on this list before, and you seem too know what you're
talking about, and you're one of the people I don't consider incompetent, so
why do YOU have a computer?

I explained why I don't use X all the time, I have too learn to go without it
so I can get a good job because I'm tired of working in restaraunts. I'm a
hell of a cook, but I don't want too do that for my living.
